An expanded version of Indiana’s Lifeline Law passed the House on Wednesday.

Senate Bill 227 would give immunity to intoxicated minors who call 911 to report a medical emergency or crime.

It would also allow first responders to administer drugs that temporarily reverse the effects of drug overdose.

Rep. Jud McMillin (R-Brookville) is a supporter of the bill, saying, “Very rarely do we get the chance to vote on laws that literally save lives. This is one of those times!”

A house committee amended the bill to include a measure for a group to study sexual violence in Indiana. The committee would investigate how many people fall victim to sexual violence and why cases go reported or unreported.
